Ruby and R?

[Paul Lynch]

Is anyone on this list using Ruby and R (the statistics package)
together? If so, what are you using to connect to R? Thanks,
--Paul

I really should get round to updating that page with some RSRuby
information...

To Paul: RSRuby is a port of RPy (the equivalent Python module) and
embeds a full R interpreter into Ruby. This means it *should* be
possible to access any R function/variable through Ruby. It's
available as a gem or source from Rubyforge:

http://rubyforge.org/projects/rsruby/

With documentation here (the pdf manual is probably your best bet):

Feel free to email me any bug reports, patches, feature requests
etc... I will try to accommodate.
